A major crash at Green Manor Drive and Greens Road brought traffic to a standstill in the pre-dawn hours of Monday, April 13, 2026, when the collision was reported at 2:59 AM. The incident, located in northwest Harris County, created significant congestion on what is normally a moderately trafficked corridor during the overnight period.
The crash happened during a typically lighter traffic window, but the severity of the collision meant delays rippled across nearby routes. Drivers heading through the area should consider using parallel routes like Katy Freeway (I-10) to the south or championships in the north, depending on their destination. The intersection sits between major thoroughfares, making it a potential chokepoint even outside rush hours. TranStar traffic management officials were monitoring the scene as crews worked to clear the roadway.
The intersection at Green Manor and Greens Road is no stranger to serious collisions. Over the past 12 months, the location has recorded 12 total incidents, including four major crashes. This concentration of accidents makes it one of the more problematic intersections in the northwest Houston corridor, suggesting possible contributing factors like sight lines, traffic signal timing, or driver behavior patterns that warrant attention from traffic safety officials.
The exact direction of travel affected and current status of the roadway remain subject to ongoing assessment by emergency responders. Drivers in the area early Monday morning likely experienced delays as tow trucks and emergency personnel worked to clear the vehicles involved. Anyone traveling through northwest Houston during the overnight hours should watch for lingering debris or residual congestion as cleanup operations continue.
